      Whoopi Reduces Hasselbeck to Tears Over N-Word

      A heated discussion of the N-word between View co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Elisabeth Hasselbeck ended in tears yesterday. Goldberg argued that black people should use the term to rob it of its power—and kept TV censors busy with her repeated use of the word. Hasselbeck fretted over how to teach her children not to say it when it was used by media figures, referring to Jesse Jackson's off-air slur during a Fox TV interview. More »

      Michelle Gets a Gig With a 'View'

      Michelle Obama started off her debut appearance on “The View” with a jab at the "terrorist fist jab" controversy, demanding of her co-hosts, "I have to be greeted properly. Fist bump please." Obama talked everything from politics to pantyhose—no, she doesn’t wear them—and said she draws attention because “I wear my heart on my sleeve.” When asked right off the bat about her much-ballyhooed patriotism, Time reports, Obama said, “Of course I’m proud.” More »

      Voters May Yet Warm Up to Michelle Obama

      Nicknamed "the closer," Michelle Obama is known for winning over voters—but many still have not warmed up to her, the San Francisco Chronicle reports. A recent poll shows that 42% of voters have an unfavorable view of her and 25% are "very unfavorable." The first lady hopeful plans to win over women starting next week, though: Her first stop will be as guest host on The View . More »

      Mrs. O Gets Her Own View

      Following Cindy McCain's lead, Michelle Obama will co-host The View on June 18, the AP reports. ABC’s mid-morning gabfest asked the wife of the presumptive Democratic nominee to be a guest, but she said she’d rather jump into the often-lively chat and guest interviews, as McCain did in April.

      Rosie: View Producers Threatened to Sue Me

      Shoot-from-the-lip comedian Rosie O'Donnell had plenty to say about her acrimonious last days on The View when she called up Howard Stern to bury the hatchet with the shock jock, MSNBC reports. O'Donnell told Stern that producers threatened to sue when she told them she was leaving. But ABC insiders denied O'Donnell's take on events. More »

      Daytime TV as Campaign Stop

      You know where they stand on gas prices, but what about pantsuits and family pets? Hillary Clinton, John McCain, and Barack Obama are making the rounds of daytime talk shows and celebrity gossipfests, courting "low-info" voters—those mostly white, working class, and undecided folks who haven't been paying much attention to the campaign. And besides pulling in millions more viewers than Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert, softer shows also go easier on guests, reports Newsweek . More »

      Rosie Won't Gab on MSNBC

      Talks between MSNBC and Rosie O'Donnell, the outspoken ex-host of ABC's "The View," about a potential prime-time talk show have broken down, the Los Angeles Times reports. The main point of contention was money, with O'Donnell demanding network-TV coin from the cable news station. O'Donnell confirmed that the deal was dead on her blog last night. More »

      Rosie O'Donnell and MSNBC are close to inking a deal to give the outspoken comedian her own prime-time talk show, reports the New York Times . Just six months after she left "The View" in a cloud of controversy, the loquacious lefty could be battling CNN's "Larry King Live" and "Hannity and Colmes" on Fox to dominate the 9 p.m. slot.

      Whoopi Muted in ‘View’ Debut

      The Whoopi Goldberg era on "The View" began with little resemblance to Rosie O'Donnell's, as Goldberg struggled to get a word in edgewise in her debut yesterday. The Oscar-winning comic was lost in mindless patter and jarring segues, with "I don't know if that's a good idea" perhaps her wittiest repartee, observes Washington Post TV critic Lisa de Moraes.
